Executive search worldwide - statistics & facts
Executive search is a specialized method of hiring for senior positions and executive jobs across various different organizations, also commonly referred to as headhunting. This is a task that has become largely outsourced, i.e. firms have hired other companies who specialize in finding specific roles in leadership and executive positions. In theory, this should help firms to make better informed decisions for new personnel in high-paying positions that bear considerable responsibilities. The development of the market size of the executive search industry has been significant, as it more than doubled in size since 2015 and has continued to exhibit growth. Furthermore, executive search professionals overwhelmingly agreed that they expected revenue to increase in 2022 when compared to the previous year.
